I've been a subscriber since almost the very beginning. I've purchased back issues over the years, for those first couple of years I missed and am probably only missing the first issue.

Lot's of lessons and articles on music theory and technique in every issue complete with lead sheets and examples, etc. Great interviews with jazz guitarists who may only be known regionally or not at all, to guitarists who are known internationally. Filled with black and white photographs from jazz guitar get-togethers, concerts, club dates, etc in every issue.

Very low key publication. I believe just the editor/owner (Ed Benson), his wife and his daughter are responsible for publishing and circulating the quarterly magazine. He appears to have articles and interviews that are submitted by many different folks including educators, professional musicians and the like.

If you are a fan and/or student of jazz guitar, Just Jazz Guitar is a must have. The back issues are worth hanging onto as a historical resource as well as for the many great lessons.

My very humble and personal (yet enthusiastic) opinion.
